I read this sentence last night. This morning the mistake’s still there.

Is it like a a Hi and Lois interstice?
Between the subject and the verb, a change has taken place?
That’s wonderful! And makes me think:
Between the subject
And the verb
Falls the Interstice.
LOL.
Should that be, "Fall the Insterstice"? :)
LOL, indeed!
I suppose that’s what happens when you “streamline” the process of editing.
"The interstice falls between the subject and [the] verb."
"falls" seems to be correct.
Just had to do that.
The "streamline" link lead me to some comments about errors in book publishing, so I thought I'd post my favorite here. I had to look several times to be sure I wasn't imagining it.
